Knitting For Olive | Tuva Dress Pattern & Yarn Pack
Effortless Elegance with a Sculptural Twist
The Tuva Dress is a beautifully sculpted garment, designed to flow from sleeve to sleeve in a single seamless piece. Knitted sideways using one strand of either Knitting for Olive Merino or Pure Silk, this dress combines the tactile richness of garter stitch with the clean structure of two striking cables that trace the neckline and sleeves in an elegant arc.
Starting at one sleeve, the cables travel across the shoulder and split to frame both the front and back neckline before joining again on the opposite side. Short rows create a gentle flare in the skirt, lending the finished dress a graceful shape that moves with the wearer. While it may appear short off the needles, blocking will give it that perfect finished length.
The Tuva Dress is an engaging project for knitters who love inventive construction and beautiful textures — a standout piece whether worn alone or layered!
